lugs t2. The lyoke meml'ner l() is then moved to its vertical position as shiiwn in Fig. l and the adjusting bolt .l is screwed downwardly in order to tirmly hold the iron l2 within the holder. Then it is desired to remove the iron trom the holder the adjusting bolt 15 is` released and the yoke member l() is rotated downwardly, as shown in Fig. 2. rl`he iron may thus be readily removed -from the holder.V

When the holder is devoid of an iron, the yoke is positioned as shown in Fig. 5 and the semicireular mei'nber l? is moved through the agency of the adjusting bolt into Contact with the nose portion el of the base plate l. By tightening the bolt l5, the yoke 10 is thus held in its lowest position. In this position the holder oi? my invention occupies substantially negligible space and, at the same time, all of the elements thereof are firmly secured against movement.

While I have shown and described but one embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood' that I do not desire to be limited to the specific structure shown in the drawing inasmuch as other modifications may be made in my holder without departing from the spirit or scope of the appended claims.

Havingthus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

I. A holding device for a pressing iron comprising a base member adapted. to receive the smoothing plate ot a standard pressing iron, a yoke member. pivotally hinged thereto, a holding member supported by said yoke member, and awbolt for adjusting said holding member relative to said base member and yoke member or for engaging said holding member with said base mem er.

2. A holding device for a pr-.ssing iron comprising a base member, fastening lugs formed thereupon, a U-shaped yoke member pivotally hinged to said base member and adapted to straddle a` pressing iron positioned on said base member, and means secured to said yoke member either for holding said pressing iron in fixed position upon said base member or for holding said yoke member in a plane coincident with the plane or said base member.

nisreie i3. A holding device ttor a pressing iron comprising a base member formed oit a. resilient metal strip bent to coniorm to the smoothing plate of a pressing iron, 'tastening lugs secured to said strip and upon lwhich the smoothing plate of said iron may rest,l a U-shaped yoke portion straddling said base member and pivotally hinged thereto, and means whereby said yoke portion may either retain the engaged pressing iron in Contact with said base member or hold said yoke portion in engagement. with an end portion oi' said base member'.

er. A holding device for a pressingiron comprising a base member termed oi a resilient metal strip bent to coniorm to the smoothing plate of a pressing iron oi' standard iorm, one leg portion thereof constituting one end of the strip being spaced. from one end or' the base portion thereof constituting theother end of said strip, a U-sl'iaped yoke member hinged to said base member, and adjusting means for holding said yoke member either in contact with a handle of a pressing iron that may be in position on said base member or with the nose portion oit said base member.

A holding device for a. pressing'iron comprising a base member formed of a resilient strip adapted to receive any size ot smoothing plate of a standard pressing' iron, a holding member hinged to said base member, and adjustable means secured to said holding member for engagement either with a *holding member hinged 'to said ,ffasey mein" ber or with the nose portion oit said base member.

6. A trunk fiat iron holder comprising a base member, a holding frame pivotally hinged to said base member, means for either vsecuring a iiat iron between said holding trame and said base member or for securing said' holding frame to said base'member when the former occupies a folded-up position, and means for securing said base member to a trunk part.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
